Oh, I forgot - the 1978 World Cup was held in the (American-supported) fascist military dictatorship of Argentina. The young dissidents who were being tortured and murdered at the Navy Petty Officers School in Buenos Aires could hear the cheering from the stadium -- especially when Argentina won the final match -- which was located only a few hundred meters away.
